DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Built for Hillside Presbyterian Church in Orange, New Jersey. As rebuilt by Peragallo in 2011-12, the instrument incorporates the restored Aeolian-Skinner pipes and chests, plus several additional ranks, all installed behind a new façade in the gallery. Peragallo also added a Chancel division with ten digital stops by Walker Technical Co. There are two consoles: a movable three-manual drawknob console usually positioned in the west aisle near the chancel, and a three-manual rocking-tablet console in the gallery.
This organ is known as the Paul Creston Memorial Organ, honoring the composer Paul Creston (1906-1985) who was organist at St. Malachy's from 1934-1967.
The inaugural concerts were given at 11 p.m. (post-theatre) on the four Fridays of October 2012. Presenting the concerts were organists Jon Johnson (Nashville), Michael Hey (New York City), Vince Carr (Newark), and Christa Miller (Houston).
